I am Chris, a Hamburg-based English Teacher and Conversation Lover from California, focusing on rewarding verbal connections and compassionate communication.

And if you understand this, I believe we have a lot to talk about.

LET’S BRIEFLY TALK SOCIAL DISTANCING.

Because global life is on lockdown right now.

More than ever, we depend on three things that I believe are essential in times like these:

First, keep talking to each other - beyond offices and borders

Second, stay connected - express our opinions and share our ideas 

Lastly, stay inspired - stick to our goals and learn something new

And while I can not change the fact that a lot of businesses are on hold, budgets are being cut and people are home-bound, I believe in the power of English conversations that connects us all, online and offline, at work and in private life. Because in 2020, English affects everyone.

I am from California and I have been teaching English in Hamburg for over five years now. From major corporations to small Mittelstand companies, from creative agencies to the mom of three kids, from CEOs to university and high school students. And I believe a single conversation can be better that ten years mere study of books. 

MIND THE GAP? NOW IS THE TIME!

If something of the following applies to you, you definitely should get in touch

• You consider you English level to be pretty good, but you do not feel you are expressing 100% yourself yet

• You want to work on your joke-landing skills for your next business lunch or just practise your small-talk

• That new job posting requires good English speaking skills that you don’t feel you are quite up to yet

• You are in a position where you want to excel leading an English conversation

• You have upcoming meeting, a presentation or a keynote speech and want to make it 100% 

• You have a job that constantly guilty-trips you because the email you write takes way too long or the phone call you’re on leaves you feel underrepresented afterwards 

OR 

• You just need a much-needed kick-in-the-ass for some rusty English skills from back in school

• You want to improve your English to be able to casually chat with your son-in-law that does not speak German yet, like me
